Hip Hop, Rock, Soul, Pop, Funk, whatever you want to call it.....it's cool with Midnite Theory.
Midnite Theory formed in late 2006 in Thousand Oaks, CA. The band has played hundreds of shows throughout Southern and Northern California including headlining and direct support slots at The Viper Room, Key Club, Whisky A go go and The Troubadour. The band has opened up and shared the stage with national acts such as Shwayze, BadFish, Unwritten Law, The Living Legends, Aceyalone, Dirt Nasty, Hyper Crush and LMFAO all without the help of managment or a booking agent.
In 2006 after the groups MC Nash The Kid and producer Jeremy Hanlon finished up Nash's solo record "Our Broken Home," they looked to put together a live band to showcase the album. They asked Nash's brother Danny to play guitar and found drummer Kristifari and bassist Matt Lieberman at 4Bros Studios in Westlake, Ca. After playing a handful of shows singer/songwriter Leilani was added to the group as well. The band quickly meshed and a created a sound that mixed Hip Hop with Rock, Soul, Punk and Pop while utilizing both electric and acoustic guitars. In late 2007 the band set out to record the "4Bros EP" and initial tracking was done at 4Bros during two 12 hour days in November 2007. Midnite Theory continued to gig putting together self-funded tours to San Francisco and San Diego and throwing huge studio parties at their rehearsal wherehouse while working on new material for another album. In 2008 Midnite Theory was discovered by producer and Document Room owner J.T. Meskiel (Puddle of Mudd, Lauryn Hill) at 4Bros studios during one of the bands infamous parties. Meskiel invited the band out to his recording compound in Malibu and asked to produce the bands next album. Tracking for "Never Sleep Till Sunrise" took place over a 2 month span in Late summer 2008.
By the end of 2008 Midnite Theory had two finished EP's ready for release. They released the self produced "4Bros EP" in Jan '09. and have just released the new EP "Never Sleep Till Sunrise," as a digital only release on Itunes.
